Description
As part of a recent repair, I ran into a unique situation: the entire whammy bar was missing! So, I went to work fabricating a replacement. I used a 4mm aluminum rod from Amazon, bent it to the correct shape, and secured it in the original whammy assembly. But, something was still missing: the rubber whammy tip. Thankfully, the great designer Fack3D has already re-created this shape, it just needed to be re-sized for the 4mm whammy rod.
The original designer recommends printing with supports, but I found that this printed without issue with 0.12 layer height and TPU 95. I printed in white because that's what I have on hand, but the original part is black if you're looking for a closer match.
